    Canadian ISP's

    Now the Sympatico is putting the 5gb bandwidth transfer per month, and Rogers is going to put a limit in September, what are you guys switching to?

    Also, when buying a DSL modem, any particular one to look out for?

    Thanks

                        Looks like its $69.95, first two months are 44.95. Thinking of making the change myself.

                                      Maybe we can get a good deal if we get 10 or so webmaster to switch to the same ISP.

                                        I would assume something that drastic would hit the news, but I've yet to hear about it until now.

                                          It's already been added to Sympatico (Canada) if you haven't heard about it, it's probably because it hasn't happend in your area yet (or will not happen). There are still places that allow unlimited bandwidth, but some are capping it at 5gb, 10gb etc.

                                          And I believe it's each site, download, upload, etc. I know Sympatico and Rogers are doing it in Canada.

                                              No clue, where are you located? Better to just switch to unlimited and not worry about it, especially if you have different people using the Internet, which is most often the case.
